Soviet Jews: A Culture in Peril
- (nd) ----- b & w ----- 29 min ----- 16mm
- In this CBS-TV News Special, Stuart Novins, former Moscow Bureau Chief, traces the 2,000 year history of the Jewish people in what is now the U. S. S. R. With particular emphasis on the last 50 years, and using rare newsreel footage and still photography, Mr. Novins examines the lingering anti-Semitism within the Soviet Union. He probes the causes of the conflict between Socialism and Judaism and, in an interview with a recent emigre from the U. S. S. R., explores the extent of Jewish identity permitted by Soviet authorities and the reason why so many Jews continue their battle for emigration to Israel.
